I'm very interested what the esato crowd would get if they were on a budget.

(65 pound = 73 euro / 93 usd)

Personally I would go for a K770i on PAYG or something like that.

I would buy a K850i...in fact that's exactly what I did last year, for £65.

A classifiers website the guy sold it so cheap because he thought it was in bad condition. (although all they were, were a few hair line scratches and and a chip next to the 'on/off' button) Actual bargain when I emailed the guy I thought I'd be to late, but it was fine. He also left a whole load of photos and some music I don't think he realised that some were saved to the phone memory or something. It came with a 1gb M2 box instructions etc. So a much better deal then on ebay because I met with the guy face to face. What was also funny is that he posted it on Friday the 13th, now a lucky day for me...

If I needed to buy a phone brand new I would get the K800i

Depends what you can get on ebay for it.

If you mean brand new then the Samsung U600.

I would sign up to a plan and get a phone free. UK plans are such good value, you get the newest network technology first and a great range of phones - you guys don't know how lucky you are.

I'd get the T250. Absolutely love the styling, really classy and elegant. Camera seems decent enough for VGA, radio, music. But i'd get T303 if it falls within the 65 quid range

You better be trollin' dastata.

I liek the suggestions so far, seems some would go for a 2nd hand instead of something new. Interesting. On the bay the prices for say K800i have dropped quite a lot, I see them go vor 25-30 pounds, wat too cheap, whilst older models like K750i and W800i go for 30+ pounds, then again the bay is really silly when it comes to prices.

I will give you 650 pound if you give me 1500 euro's back mate The rate is a wee bit lower than you think. A month ago it was almost 1:1.

@lukechris

GBP9.00 is NZ$27.00 which is cheaper than 99% of 24mth plans in NZ and NO WAY would you get a K770i thrown in for that price! Lucky lucky lucky...
